Dear Lorrin,
When I saw the title Non Records? in the title I assumed it was a question
about whether something was a record or not - perhaps something more
explicit would be prudent.
I have a male friend called Matti which is Finnish and lives in London, to
avoid confusion he puts Mr in his signature at the bottom of his emails.
Regards
Matthew
